Chapter 128: Comfort In The Bed
At Yang Hospital
Yera was too distracted by Xander’s strange behavior this morning. She let out a long sigh for her husband. She felt sympathy in her chest for him, as that was the first time she had seen Xander be emotional. ’He really loves his mother. So much more than I thought,’ she mused. She felt the longing and grief within her husband’s cries. Her heart was aching for him, but all she could do was to comfort him. She hugged him tightly and patted his back, "Your mom would be proud of you. You grew up to be a good man. She may have not been by you physically, but I’m sure she was always beside you, watching over you," were the words she whispered.
Yera shook her head and released another sigh. She felt like she should do more for her husband.
"Doc, where do you want to eat for lunch?" asked Rizie, interrupting her deep thought.
"Everything alright Doc?" Rizie asked seeing Yera that got startled. Rizie noticed she seemed out of herself since she had arrived this morning.
Yera invited Rizie to sit in the chair opposite her, "Hmm, this morning Xander brought me to his mother’s grave..." Then she told Rizie what happened.
"Oh, that’s heartbreaking, I can’t even imagine Dr. CEO crying to be honest. He’s always so cheerful. So his mother’s death must have given him a deep painful scar. To be honest, I wouldn’t want any of my family to die tragically like that; I mean, I wouldn’t even know what to do if someone dear to me died of old age." The two women were silent, thinking about their loved ones.
"By the way," Rizie began, "I asked my brother to help me about that matter we talked about. He said the file was confidential, but he could actually look into it. It’s just that he’s been quite busy these past few days. There’s been an increase in terrorist attacks lately." explained Rizie.
Yera nodded. She actually didn’t dare to ask Xander about more details. She only listened, happy with whatever he was willing to disclose. She was still very interested to know the details, but she would try finding those things out by other means. She wanted to avoid asking Xander and her father-in-law directly, because she was sure that recalling such incident for them would be not good at all.
